About Company

GE’s development in China has a long history. GE started doing business in China as early as 1906 and was considered one of the most active foreign companies in the country at the time. In 1908, the first GE lighting plant was built in Shenyang.

GE acquired Anderson, Meyer & Co. in 1934 and started to provide installation and repair services of imported electric equipment in China. GE resumed trade with the People’s Republic of China in 1979 at the outset of the country’s reform and opening-up. GE Hangwei Medical Systems Co., Ltd, GE’s first joint venture in China, was established in Beijing in 1991. For over 100 years, GE has been adapting to market changes through constant business integration and transformation. Today, all of GE’s businesses have set up operations in China. It has 22,000 employees, 7 R&D centers, more than 60 laboratories, over 30 manufacturing bases and 34 joint ventures in more than 40 cities in the country. In 2015, GE’s revenue in China amounted to $8.1 billion.

GE China Technology Center (CTC) is one of GE’s ten R&D centers in the world. It is a multi-disciplinary center and conducts fundamental R&D, develops new products and also works on engineering development and sourcing for GE’s diverse businesses across the world.
